The first Atlantic crossing with a solar boat

transatlantic21.ch — "SUN21" is a 14-meter-long catamaran powered exclusively by solar energy. In the fall of 2006, the ship will undertake the first motorized crossing of the Atlantic without using a drop of gasoline. This new world record will demonstrate the great potential of the solar technique for ocean navigation.

    If all boats were solar powered, they could generate funds when docked by plugging into the local grid.
